"content": "Asante, Bw. Spika. Mswada huu unalenga kuleta mfumo wa harambee ambao utasaidia taifa na kaunti zetu katika masuala ya uchangishaji pesa kusaidia miradi mbalimbali ambayo wananchi wanachangisha pesa. Pili, iwapo Mswada huu utakuwa sheria, basi sheria hii itaondoa ama repeal the Public Collections Act, Cap 106 ya sheria zetu za Kenya. Sheria hiyo hailingani na mfumo wa sasa wa ugatuzi katika nchi yetu. Tukiangalia vipengele tofauti vya sheria hii, inaangalia pande zote mbili za Serikali. Kuna harambee za kitaifa ambazo lazima ziandikishwe kupitia kwa Waziri wa Serikali Kuu na kuna harambee za kaunti ambazo zitaandikishwa kupitia kwa county executive wa kaunti husika. Zote hizi zinatakikana kuandikishwa katika sehemu zile. Vilevile sheria hii inatoa fursa ya kutofautisha uchangishaji kwa umma na wa kibinafsi. Kwa mfano, nikiwa nataka kufanya harambee naweza kualika watu fulani pekee yake. Kwa mfano, naweza mualika, Sen. Cherarkey, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda na wengineo ambayo haitakuwa harambee ya wazi, yaani public fundraiser. Mswada huu unasema kwamba sio lazima kuandikisha hizi harambee za kibinafsi. Hii inamaanisha zitakuwa huru. Sheria hii inatunyima nafasi ya kuhusika katika masuala ya harambee. Kwa hivyo, Wabunge na maafisa wa umma wengine watakuwa hawaruhusiwi kushiriki katika harambee. Sen. Cheruiyot alipokuwa akiongoza Mswada huu alisema kuwa hata wale ambao wanania za kugombea viti miaka mitatu kabla ya uchaguzi hawatahusika na maswala yoyote ya harambee nchini. Vile vile, yule msimamizi wa harambee lazima atafute permit ili aweze kuendesha harambee. Wengi wanasema kuwa harambee inaleta vikwazo. Lakini ipo haja kwa sababu tumeona kwamba wengine walichangisha pesa kwa madhumuni fulani na baadaye hawakuweza kutekeleza yale madhumuni waliotarajia. Vile vile, kuna harambee nyingi gushi. Pesa zikisha ingia zinatumika kwa mambo ambayo haya kukusudiwa katika harambee ile. Bw. Spika, Mswada huu unatoa mwongozo kwa masuala ya harambee kwa undani zaidi. Ningeomba Maseneta wenzangu waweze kuisoma. La msingi ni kwamba hakuna harambee ambayo inapingwa na Mswada huu. Ule uwezo wa Wabunge na maafisa wa umma kuweza kuendesha harambee na kuenda kwenye harambee na mamilioni ya pesa ambazo hatujui zimepatikana vipi ndio inayopingwa kwenye Mswada huu. Sheria hii pia inatoa nafasi kwa Waziri kutengeneza sheria endelevu yaani"

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. One of the critical issues that Gen Z raised during the protracted demonstrations across the country was the display of opulence by politicians. This was more dominant during public fundraisings and harambees. The spirit of Harambee, at the building of this nation – the senior youth representative, Sen. (Dr.) Oburu Odinga, who is older than all of us, should tell us – changed over time. We have done harambees in many things. In sports, I see clubs like Abaluhya Football Club (AFC) Leopards Sports Club, Gor Mahia, and the rest of harambees. It comes to the attention of the House that the National Women Amputees team was stranded in Frankfurt, Germany, even after emerging position four. I do not know whether we need to fundraise for them. There are videos doing rounds on social media of the amputees team sleeping in bad places as they remain stranded. I hope something can be done. Nonetheless, of course, this shows the quality of performance of the person in charge there. Regarding the issue of churches and religious organisations, as has been the case, I do not know what we should do to churches, mosques and other religious organisations. They do not have direct money from anywhere, either private or allocated from the budget. In the future, we might need to budget for the building of religious places. Even if today you are to deny harambees to happen, how would the church or the religious organisations fund the building of churches, mosques or any religious places of worship? We need to be careful so that we do not overreach the issue of regulating financial rewards. Either the county governments can budget for the building of religious places of worship, or we can allocate from the national budget. In any case, 85 per cent of the national budget remains with the national Government, and 15 per cent goes to counties. One of the common fundraisers is the issue of hospital bills. I know that every Senator, including yourself, is normally in WhatsApp groups trying to fundraise for somebody who is sick, even on compassionate grounds, including funeral expenses. One of the biggest challenges for many Kenyans is the hospital bill. We hope the Social Health Authority (SHA) will resolve these issues. I hope that our contribution to the SHA and the transition from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to the SHA will allow Kenyans to access medical care without needing to call for harambees. Every weekend, if it is not a harambee for funeral expenses and medical expenses, it is for education. If it is not for education, it is for building more places of worship. On the issue of hospital bills, if we fix SHA and ensure that medical care is accessible to all Kenyans through Universal Health Coverage, I believe we shall reduce by 80 per cent contributions or harambees that are made in support of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
